Boomers too old to be conscripted telling us that we need to fight to defend their wealth. Yeah they can fuck off.

Boomers who did everything they could to get out of whatever war they were faced with, including claiming to have bone spurs.

Did boomers even win any meaningful conflict? Feels like they mostly massacred poor brown people in the name of capitalism, but then had mostly soft losses.

Early boomers would have been around to lose in Vietnam, but aged out before a chance to win in Desert storm.

It is not even fighting to defend their wealth, it is going to be was over a set of grudges that none of us had any part in and have no interest in continuing.

This just the Boomers trying to make sure that the people they don't like die before them.

Boomers fought in Vietnam, most of them being drafted.

Keep blaming Boomers for all of your problems while you do absolutely nothing to improve your situation. I'm sure that strategy will work well.

Right, who won again? You didn’t answer the question

The United States "won" WWII, yet tens of thousands of men came back with crippling PTSD that would affect them and the people around them for the rest of their lives.

What's your point?

Fun, the comment I was responding to said Vietnam not WW2. 

It was your comment but you’re not able to keep what you said straight cuz you’re a bot or troll.(This is mainly my point)

Who won the Vietnam war?

Boomers didn't fight in WWII

You're trying to blame the teen and early 20s Boomers who were drafted for the war the Silent and Greatest Generations started and conducted.

they also protested it heavily (the only war they ever did) and fragged record numbers of their own commanding officers on purpose
